Got this error before. What I did was try to sync again using the same username (not reset sync). From what I experienced, the bookmarks and apps still exist, and it will update the sync with your current account.

Any way, based on google groups from user meyertree you can do this to backup your bookmarks to prevent data lost:

Also worked for me. Chromium Version 37.0.2062.120 Ubuntu 14.04 (281580) (64-bit). Be sure to substitute "chromium" for "google-chrome" in the path if appropriate. I exited chromium first via chromium menu in unity top panel. Other solutions in this thread were not required.

Worked for me, but the next time I logged into my computer and opened Chrome, the error message appeared again.

Is this means we'll lose all the data? or will it download cloud synced data after signed in again?

Whenever I intend to issue an rm -rf command anywhere on any system, I always omit the -rf until after the path, to never accidentally pinky the enter key instead of shift and needing to print a resume shortly thereafter.
